| 説明 | Roman ruins discovered in the process of expanding the subway.In the background is Banya Bashi Mosque (Mosque of the Central Baths as the public Turkish baths were once next door), the only functioning mosque remaining in Sofia. It was built in 1576 CE when the Ottomans controlled the Balkans.The hot springs that still flow in the middle of Sofia have attracted humans to the area for millennia; an actual village existed on the site from at least the 5th-6th millennia BCE. By the 12th century BCE Thracian tribes were arriving. King Philip II of Macedon destroyed the town in 339 BCE. Migrating Celtics took over until the Romans attacked in 29-27 BCE. By the end of the 1st century CE, Serdica (what the Romans called the town) was the most important city in the region. It was where Emperor Galerius issued his Edict of Toleration in 311 CE which implicitly legalized Christianity in the Eastern Roman Empire. Constantine the Great considered making Serdica the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire before settling on Byzantium which he renamed Constantinople (today Istanbul). Huns destroyed the city in 447 CE which laid in ruins until rebuilt by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (reigned 527-565 CE). In 809 CE the city became part of the First Bulgarian Empire. The Byzantine Empire retook the city in 1018 CE. It was incorporated into the Second Bulgarian Empire at the end of the 12th century CE. In the 14th century CE the city was renamed Sofia after Saint Sofia Church, seat of the metropolitan bishop. The Ottoman Empire seized the city in 1385 CE and ultimately converted Saint Sofia Church into a mosque in the 16th century CE. In 1878 CE the Russian Army liberated the city from Ottoman rule which led to the destruction of most of the mosques and the departure of most of the Muslim population as the Third (current) Bulgarian State was established. Following World War II in 1946 CE, Bulgaria became a socialist state ruled by the Communist Party until a revolution in 1989 CE transformed Bulgaria into a democracy. Sofia is the capital and by far the largest city in Bulgaria.On Google Earth:Roman ruins 42°41'54.89"N, 23°19'20.07"EBanya Bashi Mosque 42°41'58.31"N, 23°19'21.22"E |
